Eminent political theorist Michael Walzer, an emeritus professor at the Institute for Advanced Study, served as coeditor of the political journal Dissent for more than three decades and has played a critical role in the revival of practical, issue-focused ethics.
Many of the successful campaigns for national liberation in the years following World War II were initially based on democratic and secular ideals. Once established, however, the newly independent nations had to deal with entirely unexpected religious fierceness. Michael Walzer, one of America’s foremost political thinkers, examines this perplexing trend by studying India, Israel, and Algeria, three nations whose founding principles and institutions have been sharply attacked by three completely different groups of religious revivalists: Hindu militants, ultra-Orthodox Jews and messianic Zionists, and Islamic radicals. In his provocative, well-reasoned discussion, Walzer asks, Why have these secular democratic movements been unable to reproduce their political culture beyond one or two generations? In a postscript, he compares the difficulties of contemporary secularism to the successful establishment of secular politics in the early American republic—thereby making an argument for American exceptionalism but gravely noting that we may be less exceptional today.

評分解放的要求從何而來:反抗異族統治,爭取民族獨立、與壓迫者平等。 解放為何錶現為世俗主義的,以及世俗主義者反對宗教的原因:宗教保守勢力趨嚮於妥協,壓迫者在傳統的上層階級中扶植傀儡進行統治,所以要與宗教進行鬥爭。宗教與政治的界綫必須由國傢劃清,國傢是世俗的。 解...
